I have done nothing but run around today! I can't believe it is 9:30pm and I am just now posting! Today I went and met Deaner for lunch (big shock) and afterwards I came home to do our laundry (another big shock). I had to pack our bags to Rome so that we could haul them to the gym and put them on the scale to make sure we were under the limit! Deaner gets to check a bag tomorrow when we go to London so I am not too worried about the weight check tomorrow but Rome had me a little more concerned. We each get to bring 22 pounds with us to Rome. My bag was feeling rather hefty as I had to carry it into the gym this afternoon. Thankfully my bag weighed in at 18.6 pounds!! Wooo-hoooo!! What else should I bring to make up for that 3 pounds and 10 ounces!? Just teasing, I'm sure it will somehow get heavier between now and Friday! Maybe now I can bring home some souvenirs! So, our travel books never came. Guess we will be winging Rome. Fortunately, Deaner has been there twice before and we are staying with friends that live there. I think we will survive!

So wish me luck as we embark on our first adventure that involves Ryan Air! I hope all the bad things that I have heard are just a lie and that we have only good things to say about the cheapest air line on earth! We have internet in our hotel in Lakenheath so I will be posting! Hope everyone has a great Monday! OH YEAH!! Next time you come to my blog, it will have quite the makeover!! STAY TUNED! (does anyone notice my excessive use of the exclaimation point?)

So exciting to go on trips... and I understand the bag weight thing! I am always over!

My crazy mom found a cool suit case weigher thingy though. It has a hook and handle, and you just put the hook on the bag lift with the handle and it tells you how much it weighs. I don't know the name of it but I bet you could google suit case weigher and it would pop up. May be useful with all the traveling you will be doing!!
